## What it is
A CLI tool that runs AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Cursor Agent, Qwen Code, OpenCode) in an autonomous iterative 'Ralph loop' until a task completes. Built with Bun and TypeScript, it accepts a prompt or prompt file and supports agent switching via a flag.

## Use cases
- run an AI coding agent in a loop until the task is done
- automate iterative coding with Claude Code or Codex
- let an AI agent autonomously build a REST API
- run headless AI coding agent with a prompt file
- check status of an ongoing agentic coding loop
- switch between multiple AI coding CLIs with one tool

## When to choose
- you want to run an AI coding agent autonomously over many iterations
- you use multiple agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode) and want one wrapper
- you follow the Ralph Wiggum technique for agentic development

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or IDE plugin rather than a CLI
- you want a single-shot AI code completion instead of an iterative loop
- you don't use any of the supported AI coding agent CLIs
